117 Re-Encounter with Riku
[4 years later]
Xiao Qiangwei: ...I wonder what he is doing now, it's been some years since I checked on him…
He used his spatial manipulation and entered the 4th Dimension, so he couldn't be seen normally, and teleported to where Riku should be, over a flower garden closed in a giant cave.
There were many branches working as bridges or giving the cave a certain feeling of "Ancient", overall, it was a nice place… Oh, here he is.
Riku: This place is big…
He was walking over the yellow flowers and crouched down to observe them, however, a silhouette leaped really fast over his head, and Xiao Qiangwei was surprised when he saw Riku turning around and getting cautious.
Xiao Qiangwei: 'So he reached this point… At least he didn't disappoint me.'
He turned around and saw an Ex-Machina right beside him, since he was in the 4th Dimension, he was invisible to anyone, even if he could still be heard, but he couldn't be interacted with from the 3rd Dimensional beings.
Xiao Qiangwei: '...Is this a out of season april joke?'
He looked at the Ex-Machina and saw that it was almost the exact copy of Shiro, and she was observing Riku from there.
Xiao Qiangwei: 'That's a big coincidence… Riku and this girl look just like Sora and Shiro…'
The Ex-Machina leaped somewhere else, alerting Riku, who started to run away. But she used a spell to destroy the branches over their heads, which fell over him, he took out a dagger to shield himself from some debris.
After Riku opened his eyes, he was on the ground and the Shiro-look-alike Ex-Machina was in front of him, staring at him menacingly.
Xiao Qiangwei was some meters away in case something turned in a wrong way. The Ex-Machina's eyes glowed and started to mutter words.
Ex-Machina: Adjusting for common parameters… Conclusion.
Then the Ex-Machina's hand reached Riku's mouth, while Xiao Qiangwei's finger was right behind her back, where her core should be. Riku tried to remain calm for not making enemy of the Ex-Machina, since the entire race "Should" be linked to each other.
Then the Ex-Machina lowered his lower mask and made eye contact with him.
Ex-Machina: I cannot resist you big brother, you must make a woman out of me.
Riku: Ah?
Then the Shiro-wannabe kissed him, while Xiao Qiangwei was holding his mouth shut and holding back a laughter.
…
…
Ex-Machina: Error.
She removed her lips from Riku's and started to talk again.
Ex-Machina: Cannot comprehend. Is this scenario not sufficient to being you gratification.
Riku sat up from the ground and said.
Riku: Well… I'm sorry. But I'm not one of those weirdos who gets off by being observed by you guys.
Ex-Machina: Question: Who are "You guys"?
Riku: Oh, don't play dumb with me. I know all of this transmits to that cluster thing of yours.
Ex-Machina: Negative. This unit had been disengaged from the cluster collective.
Riku: Disengaged, you say? So you're on your own?
Ex-Machina: Correct.
Riku: Well, then… What does some stray Ex-Machina want with someone like me? I mean, I'm just human.
The Ex-Machina blinked and said.
Ex-Machina: Response: To analyze the unique language humans use among themselves. The language referred to as "The Heart".
Riku: The heart?
Ex-Machina: Reasoning: This unit's investigation of the heart generated multiple logic errors causing this unit to be disassociated. Thereafter further observation has been conducted independently.
Riku: Observations? So you're planning to study the heart on your own and get the cluster to take you back, right?
Ex-Machina: Desire: It is postulated that dermo-contact, flesh upon flesh. Results in a unique exchange of emotions.
While she said that, her hand touched Riku's chest,and continued to getting over his lap in a sensual manner.
Ex-Machina: I request you procreate with this unit.
Then, Riku grabbed the dagger and pointed it to his neck.
Riku: I refuse.
The cyborg wasn't fazed from it and continued to talk.
Ex-Machina: Alternative: You may take advantage of this unit in any manner you wish. Though it possesses no orifice.
Riku: I refus- Wait, no orifice?
Xiao Qiangwei: Pffft…
The Ex-Machina's arm moved as fast as lightning and materialized a gun pointed towards the source of that sound, but Xiao Qiangwei was nowhere.
Ex-Machina: Error. Cannot find life-form…
Xiao Qiangwei's voice came out of nowhere, still where the gun was pointed to.
Xiao Qiangwei: Hey brat, I leave you for 10 years and you want to make interracial sex with a doll? I didn't think you would be this desperate.
Riku: ….! That voice… Wei?
Xiao Qiangwei turned back in the 3rd Dimension right beside him, and patted his head.
Xiao Qiangwei: That's right.
The Ex-Machina pointed her gun to him and analyzed his looks.
Ex-Machina: Recognized threat: Xiao Qiangwei, class: A+, procee-
Xiao Qiangwei: Don't mind me, I won't do anything.
Riku: Huh!?
Ex-Machina: ...Confirmation: Do you really don't want to do anything?
Her eyes glowed again and checked his entire body for signs of lie when he shook his head, but she didn't found any.
Xiao Qiangwei: Don't worry brat, you are ok.
Riku's lifeless eyes gained a bit of light and he tried to hug Xiao Qiangwei, who put an hand over his forehead, avoiding the hug.
Xiao Qiangwei: I'm not gay, brat.
Riku: Fuck off! It's been 10 years since we met and the first thing you say is this? Tch…
He stopped trying to hug him and forgot about the Ex-Machina with him, not forgot, but more like ignored. Since Xiao Qiangwei was there, he thought of being safe. He would not abandon him with her… Right?
Xiao Qiangwei shrugged and turned to the Ex-Machina.
Xiao Qiangwei: You can even lower your gun, I won't harm you unless you harm the kid...
Riku sighed in relief before he heard the rest.
Xiao Qiangwei: ...After you gave him a punch in the stomach.
Riku: Oi!
The Ex-Machina nodded and turned her sight to Riku, one of her antennas touched the ground and a light appeared over her head.
Ex-Machina: Losen.
Then the projection of a chess table appeared.
Ex-Machina: Recreation.
A chess piece appeared in front of Riku.
Ex-Machina: Earth. Chess.
Riku gulped as he looked at the king's piece in front of him.
Ex-Machina: A challenge. I request participation in the game. Conditions: If this unit wins, it shall be taken home with you and procreation shall occur.
Riku slowly touched the chess piece and grabbed it, then he smiled confidently.
Riku: I can only assume you chose chess on purpose. You guys are basically walking calculators. There is no way I can win. Still… What if… I manage to win?
Ex-Machina: Answer: you shall take this unit home and then immediate procreation shall occur.
Riku: They're the same!
Xiao Qiangwei: Pfft… Haha… 'I guess it wasn't a bad choice to reveal myself…'
